In a statement, information and publicity secretary of UKLA (MC) Jameson Kuki observed that whatever may be the reason, killing of civilian, that too, a well known member of a community, is not within the justifiable limit.''Killing of our people in such manners is against the revolutionary principle and if any group goes on killing people like this, then they are anti-people with no proper principle and they will have no place in the society'', Jameson said.

Furthermore, clarifying on the killing of two of its cadres on October 7 last at Gangpimoul in Churachandpur by troops of Assam Rifles under the leadership of one major, Jameson asserted that the killing was the 'devilish plan' of the major to clear his name over a case involving his girl friend and another man.
